name	sandbox-configuration
description	Central authority for Claude Code sandboxing and isolation. Covers sandboxed bash tool, /sandbox command, filesystem isolation (blocked access, custom paths), network isolation (domain restrictions, proxy support), OS-level enforcement (bubblewrap on Linux, Seatbelt on macOS), sandbox configuration options, escape hatches (dangerouslyDisableSandbox, allowUnsandboxedCommands), and sandbox security limitations. Assists with configuring sandbox settings, understanding isolation mechanisms, and troubleshooting sandbox issues. Delegates 100% to docs-management skill for official documentation.
